New access to property

[bobbych]

There is a house we are looking at buying but at present the access is via a narrow dirt track and very restrictive to delivery vans and such like.

One of the three other boundaries backs onto a different road. wold it be feasable to simply install a new set of double gates i the hedgeline creating a new access or call it back gate if you want. would this requier planning permission? as is it atal possible?

Its not necessarily as simple as you may be hoping, have a read through this thread: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=232643

Spooky I live in a road like that, but near the metalled bit - the dirt bit goes on a fair way past us

You would need to ensure that you have a right of way on the roads first.

Yep check if you have a right of way. Also check your deeds in case there are any covenants affecting the boundaries.

And double check that some legal scrote hasn`t got a Ransom Strip across your access
